For the love of poetry – Inside Indonesia: The peoples and cultures of Indonesia

In memory of Pat I think we met in the mid-1980s at a party, not long after I moved from Sydney – maybe at an Inside Indonesia gathering or a party. Pat Walsh was an activist, a writer, a friend and a poet. He loved poetry, but probably more than that, it was his passion. Patrick Walsh, a former Catholic priest who loves poetry – not just poetry in English, but poetry in other languages, including Indonesian. He hardly ever missed a gathering of the Jembatan Poetry Society. The last time he joined us was in late August 2015 for a gathering at Nelayan Penyet Restaurant, on Lonsdale Street in Melbourne. His books such as, Di Tempat Kejadian Perkara and ‘Stormy with a Chance of Fried Rice – Twelve months in Jakarta, included many poems alongside his essays and reflections. Stormy with a Chance of Fried Rice – 12 months in Jakarta published in 2015, in my opinion, it the best of his books. The cover is especially funny: a man with a moustache and a cat running away because someone is chasing her with a knife.  » Read More

By KAITLYN HUAMANI and BARBARA ORTUTAY, AP Technology Writers The families of four teenagers who died by suicide are suing Meta, TikTok, Snapchat and YouTube over what they describe as “years of escalating harms” from using their platforms that eventually resulted in their deaths. The lawsuit, filed Thursday in the Superior Court of Delaware, is the latest in a flurry of suits filed against the social media giants that alleges their platforms are addictive and dangerous. The complaint was filed on behalf of four families from Texas, North Carolina, Minnesota and Tennessee whose children died over a 14-month period starting in July 2024 through September 2025. The Social Media Victims Law Center is bringing the suit on behalf of the families, and its founding attorney, Matthew Bergman, said it’s “particularly salient” that the children in this case died “long after” similar suits had been filed. “These platforms continue to kill kids, despite the platitudes of their executives,” Bergman said in an interview.  » Read More
